I met with the brave families of Avera Mengistu, Hisham al-Sayed, Oron Shaul & Hadar Goldin. Their strength in the face of heartbreaking adversity is an inspiration. We unequivocally condemn Hamas' actions & stand with Israel in demanding the immediate return of their loved ones.
This week we had the honor of hosting a delegation of Jewish leaders from North America at our headquarters in Jerusalem.
Thank you to our dear friends from @zionistrabbis for visiting us and for your constant dedication to your communities, Israel and the Jewish people.
A busy week of work around the clock in the efforts of combating antisemitism : hosting special envoys, IL- EU dialogue and speaking at #AJCGloFo.
IHRA definition is the benchmark of the global coalition against antisemitism.
#FORtheIHRA@StateSEAS@EUAntisemitism
We are honored to host Ambassador Deborah Lipstadt @StateSEAS at @IsraelMFA , for a round table on combating antisemitism. On our agenda- the very important White House strategy, @TheIHRA definition and steps to be taken with regional partners n order to fight Jew hatred.
I could not end my statement at #UPR43 without reminding States about the plight of Oron Shaul, Hadar Goldin, Avera Mengistu and Hisham al-Sayed, who are still held captive in Gaza by the Hamas terrorist organization.
The suffering of the kidnapped and their families must end!
Historic and festive event in Jerusalem: the Syriac Patriarch arrived from Syria for the installation of a new Patriarch of Jerusalem! Delegations came from India, Jordan, Germany and Sweden to celebrate with them. Heads of other churches joined as well.
Together with @irfambassador Rashad Hussain and SRPA Hady Amr we paid respect this week to Diplomats Righteous Among Nations who risked their lives saving Jews during the #Holocaust. May their memory be a blessing ๐ฏ๏ธ
I had the pleasure of eatinga fresh, tasty and Kosher Baigel that was made in #Doha#Qatar with Rabbai Marc Schneier who made it happen.
Thank you @qatar
